all they have ever known
for too much of their lives
how sad this is the truth
their frame of reference
shouting to be heard
to be given respect
offering another way
showing kindness
thrown back in my face
as if it was weakness
not understanding
I didn’t want to shout
to show them kindness
caring not screaming
repaid with rebellion
a lack of respect
